WE BITE AND SCRATCH AND SCREAM ALL NIGHT

Among the weirdest things I’ve ever bought there’s an Emily the Strange cat-shaped bag, which I purchased in the early 2000s. For some inexplicable reason, I thought it was super-cool, but it soon ended up in the darkest part of my closet, until I decided to sell it on eBay to another cat-shaped bag lover. I don’t think I’d buy something similar again, but I wouldn’t mind having this adorable Meadham Kirchhoff Kitty embroidered silk clutch in my bag collection.

Made of cotton canvas, it’s embroidered with silk on both sides, has a silk lining and a zip closure. Thanks to its size (21 x 19 cms), it can be used to carry everyday essentials or as a make-up pouch. The blue-eyed cat with a cute pink bow is totally in tune with the British brand’s nostalgic aesthetic; it would look awesome with an apron dress or with a retro outfit (full or pleated skirt, slim shirt and embroidered cardigan).
